Originally this work was written for string players, and the title says it all. You can imitate the plucking of the pizzicato on the recorder perfectly well. This airy and humorous polka requires a playful performance: experiment with the tempo. For ensembles that do not have a bass recorder at their disposal, an alternative part for tenor recorder has also been provided. A performance with five recorders is possible as well, using this extra part to reinforce the bass melody. (Grade 4-5)
